REPLY OF E. H. TRUEBLOOD, Hitchcock, Ind.
Southern Indiana "Underground Railroad. 1st- Routes, Stations &c;
The routes were from points in the states of Ky, and I*enn. towards the Ohio river, general¬ ly crossing that stream at the city of Louisville, or some point between that and Leavenworth Ind. The plans of escape were often laid before cross¬ ing the river, and were helped on by anti-slavery men or abolitionists. They were sometimes brought to Station No. 1 in covered wagons concealed among goods, boxes and other contrivances, but when not they seemed to always know enough to steer their flight towards the Quaker Settlement, some thirty- five or forty miles north near Canton, Washjlngtcp. Co., Ind. Ihat there were interested persons to feed and direct them between the station here and the Ohio line is known full well, but their names are now lost to us. James L. Thompson was the ack¬ nowledged Station Master at this point, yet 4m. in William Penn Trueblood a near friend and neigh¬ bor he had an earnest and trusted lieutenant.
